PROJECT OVERVIEW

Vultures is a game that combines the elements of an economic and manufacturing simulator such as Factorio and Production Line. The game takes place in real time, with players put in charge of a manufacturing corporate empire. Players are responsible for buying plants and equipment, hiring labor, and buying and selling raw materials and finished goods.

The ultimate goal of a player in Vultures is to be the last company still in business (buying out or bankrupting your competitors) or at least the biggest by the end of the simulation.

MISSION STATEMENT

Vultures aims to satirize corporate culture and the manufacturing process. Vultures will keep players engaged, switching between the two simulations to keep either one from becoming stale too quickly.
